{Shop: Skirt, Top, Socks, Necklace, Boots
My dear sweet peach of a husband took my photos early this morning. And then I made him pancakes on the fire pit I made out of nature and twigs. I of course started the fire with matches, and not two rocks and friction. I’m not really a girl scout. I’m just dressed like one. Now I’m off to earn my “Laundry Queen” badge.
I, Kendi Everyday, promise to remix my heart out in the next 30 or so days. Scout’s honor.
(Update: 1) Apparently I’m doing the boy scout’s hand signal instead of the girl scout’s. This just goes to show you that the closest I ever got to being an actual girl scout was a package of Thin Mint cookies. 2) How could I not have included this? Do the Freddy!)

LOVE this silhouette on you, doll!
Great outfit scout Kendi!I like the shocks, nice coloring detail!It makes the outfit!Well done and thanks for giving us the opportunity to remix and get to know each other.
I absolutely love this outfit!! The gingham on the solid skirt works so well!
I love the socks! I'm trying socks with oxfords and heels during the 30 for 30!
You are so adorable!! If this is girl scout inspired, then you are the most stylish skirt scout ever!
i think the girl scout look works well for you!
linley.
Very cute! I'm not normally a fan of socks with shorts/skirts/dresses, but you pulled it off well in this outfit!
Stinky cute!
or…stinkin' cute….should use the preview button a little more often…
Very cute! I have a similar outfit lined up for my rotation. just posted my first pic today, and so far i'm happy to report that there are no shopping withdrawal symptoms… YET!

You are so darling! And I still can't get over the great photos! (I gotta get my hands on that necklace!)
Who knew you could make pancakes on a fire pit… I have obviously earned zero badges.
do you remember the terrible girl scout uniforms??? Yuck. And do we want to talk Brownies for a moment? Oh, but what fun.
Lovely first remix, Kendi!
you are so pretty, and I love the playfulness in these photos! gorgeous necklace, too.

i love the button-down shirt and skirt combo! this is a great necklace too definitely glams up this outfit from your average girl scout ensemble.
good luck on your laundry queen badge! 🙂

Stinky cute….I've been known to rock that on the weekends as well.
Oh yeah the pancakes on a fire pit? It's tricky and kind of gross. I was obviously never a girl scout. Or a great camper for that matter.
Very cute, a good start to the challenge. I decided to throw my eggs in one basket and start high so my inevitable decline will be caught on camera.

love those boots!
SO random! I was just looking up girl scouts on wikipedia for script research. What a coincidence. Also, this outfit is awesome. I can't wait to see what else you come up with for your remix!
This is a great group of photos… love the outfit… love the pearls……..

I love this outfit, there is something about the gingham that is making me want to go camping, or maybe it was fire pit pancakes…
Love it! I've always been a fan of the outdoorsy look. I really like the skirt. It's shape is fantastic and I love the shoes with the socks. Super cute.
Good luck! 🙂
if that's a girlscout, then sign me up! you look great. i only lasted in brownies for a day…

Haha I love that movie! You look adorable and I love that you went with the theme with your photos! LOL
Super cute! Love the shot of you jumping. : )
I love the socks/shoe combo, it makes the look!
I was so excited to see you picked this combo- I have almost the exact same one picked out for later in the remix!
Sounds like a perfect morning. Love the necklace.
Great Outfit! Great shots! Love the necklace!
Adorable! Maybe you could be a troop leader in your spare time haha
Love this! I like how you paired the teal socks with the bright blue-checkered top! And I love that necklace 🙂
Yay for Day 1!
Also, read your interview on MML with Jess – you're such an inspiration – I'm getting ready to be a "Midnight Hustler" myself and your willingness to take a risk and pursue your passions is so awesome!
Small Time Style
Such a pretty blue on you!!
I love the super girly necklace with the boyish shirt – very cool.
I NEED that shirt. 🙂 Adorable as usual!
JEALOUS of the shoes!! Gol, I KNEW I should have taken one last shopping trip before all this started!
Fantastic first outfit. Makes you have the perfect hourglass figure!

This is SO Cute! The necklace with the gingham work unexpectedly really well!:)
Great start to your 30 for 30 challenge, Kendi! Your blog is so refreshing and well-written, and I really appreciate how warm and funny and unpretentious you are. Keep up the great work!

Love the plaid and skirt together. You look so casual yet so pulled together!
I'm already having so much fun with the 30 for 30 challenge!
I love this skirt! I would never think to pair all of these items together but I love it!
The boots with the pearls are such opposites but work together SO well!
So chic!
Super cute outfit! I love Troop Beverly Hills! I love this skirt. Too bad I can't shop for 30 days. I need a husband so I can drop hints and have him do my shopping for me. 🙂
I saw Sufjan Stevens last night. Amazing. I cried.
I'm new to reading your blog. Really cute outfit. I love the 30 for 30 concept and I can't wait to see what you do with your remixing in the coming days. I actually WAS a Girl Scout. All the way through the middle of high school (Cadets). You're actually doing the Boy Scout sign (Girl Scouts is the first three fingers) and I find that very adorable, haha.
Such a cute outfit! I'll be posting mine later tonight. I can't wait to follow along and see the rest. =)
Oh gosh, Troop Beverly Hills is one of my all time FAVORITE movies! This look is also one of my favorites, especially the necklace.
Too Cute.

You look awesome. I like you as a girl scout. (:
you just had to add the minty socks didn't you? Friggin' adorable 😛
I love the outfit!! Khaki skirts are so versatile. "Troop Beverly Hills" was probably one of my top 5 favorite childhood movies!
Okay, someone else caught the boy scout sign vs girl scout sign — cute! Oh well, your outfit makes up for it. Adorable.
so cute!! I love this look and I have been eyeing those shoes!
Very Cute!!
I wanted so bad to do the 30 for 30 but I had a shopping trip lined up for the weekend. Maybe next time.
Good Luck!

Love the look! Day1 for me went well, I can only hope we last till day 30! Dressing your self up is so much easier than dressing a little tot for a 30 for 30!!

Ohh, I love your first outfit! We both chose to go with a blue top for our first of 30.

You're so adorable Kendi! I'm excited to see what you whip up this time. I have to sit out this challenge because I know I won't be able to resist all the Fall temptations!

I absolutely love your outfit.
Just Better Together
I love your shirt! xoxo

Love Troop Beverly Hills and love this outfit 🙂 especially the shoes! xx
Cute! You do look like a girl scout doll or something.
Let the fun begin! I love that top! I am really mad I left one just like that at a goodwill a year back because of a small rip. Oh if only I knew then what I know now…
I' also doing a 30 for 30 but just not with clothes since I dont have the time right now. But yea, I'm right there with you ladies!

I just got booties very similar to these ones – I'm inspired to wear them in an outfit like this! You look great, Kendi! I'm so excited to watch the 30 for 30 play out 🙂

You are just an adorable, wonderful woman. 🙂
Could you be any cuter? Doubt it. Great top, too–It has inspired many of my ensembles!

For some reason, when I saw your items lined up, I envisioned this exact combination in my head!! I'm so glad you picked it!
kendi, you are my favorite.
the little green socks and the flying beads!
Kendiiii,
First of all, I wanted to say THANK YOU for this wonderful opportunity to be part of such an amazing challenge… it's only day 1 and I feel so overpowered (haha). Not touching other clothes in my wardrobe, walking straight past the stores on my way home. And I've already met so many great bloggers through this challenge… so THANK YOU!
And secondly, this outfit is so adorable!
And thirdly, you never fail to make me smile with your sarcasm & wit.
Your biggest fan, lol.

Lovely! I think 1st thing on my shopping list after the 30×30 is a checkered top! 🙂
Ahhh, so adorable!! I especially love the third picture … you look beautiful and your socks look so precious. 🙂
Great start to the remix – I'm excited to see what you do for the next 29 days!
You are the cutest thing! I'd do a "girl scout" look that way anyday. Those boots are worth their weight in Samoas!
Leaving the House in THIS?!?!
thank you for knowing that jenny lewis is in troop beverly hills!
Cute, love the buttoned skirt 🙂 Have fun remixing!
LOVE your first mixer outfit….I wish I could have joined you girlies…Im going to NYC in a few weeks..I didnt think I could refrain from shopping there, lol

I love your writing style!…(in addition to your personal style of course) It's what makes you one of my favorite style bloggers!
oh goodness. that necklace is just so gorgeous. and those steve madden shoes – wow! i'm drooooliinggg. hhaha.
Shelley Long would totally approve! This outfit would have made it into those closet backpacks the Troop designed…
Love this look on you!
love the gingham shirt with that skirt, really wonderful together, more glam then girlscout, I promise!!
I am digging the shirt with that necklace! And OMG! I was obsessed with that movie when I was a kid.
I love the juxtaposition of the fancy necklace and the casualness of the plaid/khaki. Super fun!
Bahahahah!
Troop Beverly Hills is one of my all time favorite movies. love it! and this outfit!
🙂
What a great way to start out the 30 for 30! You look absolutely adorable. 🙂
(My first outfit wasn't nearly this cute, haha. I was totally playing it safe today.)
I am in love with your skirt. and this whole outfit, actually!
I'm a new follower, but I love your blog! it's very fun. 🙂

Anytime there's a Troop Beverly Hills reference, I'm in. This outfit is amazing, and I covet that skirt.
ahaha… i was about to say… what are you doing with your hand in that last one, then i read the update and busted out laughing. Amazing. I love this outfit. That necklace with that shirt is so so good!
I was a girl scout for like 6 years. I have to say… I loved those uniforms! I still have my sash somewhere!
SO CUTE! I absolutely love this look. A full skirt with a tight waist is just the best.
Ooooh I like that ginham shirt a lot! It's so cute how you paired your outfit with the minty socks. Hehehe.
BTW, girl scout hand sign is three fingers, but u look cute anyways. 🙂

We are twins today…great minds think alike 🙂
Oh man I loved Troop Beverly Hills growing up and I love your shirt!
I'm so bummed I can't join in the 30 for 30 this time around!! Definitely count me in for a winter remix if you do one.
As usual, you are adorable. 🙂
What a fantasitc outfit! I'm not sure which piece I love more (big fan of the buffalo check shirt!!!)but it all works together to be a playful, feminine ensemble.
I'm pretty sure no troop would turn you away…
Warmly,
Elizabeth
You look adorable!! I had to google the references, though…Troop Beverly Hills was a little before my time =]

OK, 30 for 30 at 30 weeks pregnant, is up and running. 1 day down, 29 more days to see what I fit into.
Good luck

I would buy cookies from you 😀
I love the necklace! I almost wore the same outfit as you today (sans necklace)! Can't wait to see what you come up with tomorrow.

Good job at passing off your first badge of dressing cute! (even though you should have gotten this a LONG time ago!) That video is hilarious.
Beautiful outfit 🙂
Love the pearl necklace.
If it makes you feel any better, us Girl Scouts in Canada actually do do the fingers-together sign. The one you're doing is for Brownies, who are ages 7-10, I think? I just remember I couldn't do the three-fingered one for Guides, the next level up. My pinky just wouldn't bend…
I remember when the Disney Channel would show Troop Beverly Hills at least once a month.
Love the movie and your outfit.
Here's to an awesome 30 for 30!
I wish I too had a sweet peach of a husband to take pics of me early in the morning:)
You look beautiful as usual!
xx
The only time I've seen Jenny Lewis, she was wearing a t-shirt with holes in it and a bandanna.
She's girl scout post wilderness camping weekend.
I love that necklace!
So cute! Me gusta head to toe.
And thank you, TBH has just been netflixed! Such a gem.
So lovely! I adore the plaid with the pearls — a classic combo. And your photo shoot is oh so cute.
xoxo
Haha, I always wanted to be a boy scout anyway – I thought they did cooler activities – however they have nothing that compares to the joys of Thin mints! BTW that necklace is dreamy!
I love you even more than I already did because you referenced Troop Beverly Hills. <3 I adore you.
Dear God girl you must have felt so absolutely adorable in that outfit. It may just be my hands down favourite of yours. In fact I'm going to take a stand and say it is. Bravo.
Omg the Freddy…bahaha I love it! Cute outfit!! 🙂
great outfit and i am so excited to see the rest of your outfits:)
